Thank you all for your postings, it seems to me if I can't use my Ati
Aiw9600xt to record from my Tv that customers should be made aware
that their Vcr will work fine but Ati AIW cards won't.
It seems a waste to pay $300 for a video card for Home Theatre only to
find I can't record Live TV.
Nowhere on the Ati site does it mention this.
